Men Accused of Sexually Assaulting Teen

Two men are accused of sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl in Johnsonburg last month.

Police say 22-year-old Andrew Kowalski and 24-year-old Justin Latona, both of Johnsonburg, picked up the girl and her friend in St. Marys at around 4 a.m. October 14, and took them to a house in Johnsonburg where "many wild and crazy parties" have been held over the last several weeks.

Police say Latona started having sex with the girl, but Kowalski left after a few minutes.

Latona is charged with felony counts of statutory sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault. Kowalski is charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and statutory sexual assault. Both men are scheduled for preliminary hearings on November 28 in front of District Judge Tony King.
